COOKING VESSEL Filed April 5, 1953 ing from cylindrical form. When of elongated form, there may be hinges along one side as oval or rectangular. In such instances, the sealing joint may be in the clearance region away from the hinged side. Furthermore, the contour may be polygonal or even square. In some instances the effective snug fitting independent of the water seal may be even of a major extent and be limited even to an end portion. There is thus a safeguard against blow off while trapped against vapor escape.

In the event the operation be one of temperature increase with the resultant condensation collection, such may be conserved with the contents to be automatically supplied in a major portion back with the contents of the container, due to the drop in temperature as well as resultant reduction in pressure in the container, thus creating a suction action for drawing the liquid of the liquid seal back into the container.

What is claimed and it is desired to secure by Letters Patent is:

1. A container having an opening, there being an effective channel adjacent said opening, and a lid having a dependent rim at said channel in proximity to the inner side for minor clearance, said lid having spacing for uniform clearance as to the channel's outer side and thereby leaving said channel outside of the lid as an upwardly open trough.

2. A container having an opening, there being an effective channel adjacent said opening, and a lid seated in said channel with an annular exposure of the channel thereabout, said lid being located in proximity to at least one side of said channel, and having other regions spaced and thereby adapted for holding condensation of trapped liquid in the channel.

3. A container having an opening, there being an effective channel adjacent said opening, and a lid having a rim seated in said channel, there being a lid portion from the rim adapted to provide a condensation receiving portion directed to drain into said channel on one side of the rim, said lid being in proximity to one side of the channel adapted to provide seepage clearance, on the opposite side said rim being spaced for channel top exposure.

4. A container having an opening, there being an effective channel adjacent said opening, and a lid having a rim seated in said channel between the sides of the channel with clearance inside and outside of the rim as to the channel, said lid having from said rim an upwardly tapering portion adapted to drain to the inside clearance, said rim as in the channel providing therepast communication from said inside clearance to said outside clearance.

5. A container having an opening, and a lid for the opening, said lid on its under side tapered upwardly, there being means providing an effective liquid seal joint between the lid and container from which joint said taper portion of the lid extends, said joint including a channel portion of the container and a rim portion or the lid interfitting, with inside proximity for minor clearance of the rim, to receive drainage from the lid taper inside, and outside spacing providing major clearance, there being communication past said rim in the channel with said inside clearance, said outside clearance providing an upwardly open trough.
